How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 83 ÷ 100 = 0.83
- Multiply: 0.83 × 1 = 0.83
- Check: Work backwards: 0.83 ÷ 1 × 100 = 83%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 83/100 = part/1, so part = 83 × 1 ÷ 100 = 0.83. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =83%*1. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
What the result means
0.83 is the 83% share of 1. The remaining 17% is 0.17, and the two parts add back up to 1.
Discounts: 83% off an item priced $1 saves $0.83, so you pay $0.17.
Adding and taking away 83%
Increasing 1 by 83% gives 1.83 and decreasing it by 83% gives 0.17. These do not cancel out: raising 1 by 83% and then lowering the result by 83% ends at 0.3111, because the second 83% is taken of a bigger number.
